My view point on the cliche help phrase “I know how you feel”.

I’m unsure.  Sure, millions of people feel the same but my uncertainty is mine.

A feeling unlike those felt by anyone who claims to know exactly how i feel. 

Impossible…that would make you me.  I am the only one of my kind.  The only one that can explain my pain and frustration.

Do you? Do you feel like no one else could ever feel the intriguing, seemingly endless swarm of self slander and soul crushing put downs your mind won’t let you escape from?

like even the mirror would not have the answers you need?  They say “someone out there has it worse than you do so be grateful”.  O.K….Done that,  Now what?

I appreciate life and the gifts GOD has given me.  I enjoy the things i have and the opportunities that blah, blah, blah.  Turn the teleprompter off and tell me something i haven’t heard before.

Tell me that you have no idea why i feel how i feel.  tell me it’s fine to feel this way because it’s a part of being human and you have no idea how i feel. 

Tell me to drink a beer, cry you a river, and get over it because that’s the only thing you’ve found that works.

IN the end it’s what you think about yourself that matters.

    Been there done that, I know how you feel. :-) No seriously I don’t know how you feel. But yes, it gets frustrating to hear everyone around you tell you this. Famous words, It could be worse. :-[.
    Very well put.
